As such, it represented a major milestone in the history of Grand Seiko and was recognized by the international watch community when it was awarded the Chronometry Prize at that year’s Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhile the first Kodo expressed evening twilight through the delicate interplay of light and shadow that is central to Grand Seiko aesthetics, the new timepiece uses light and shadow to evoke daybreak. The delicate time when morning light begins to reclaim the sky is emphasized throughout the design, completing a portrayal of light and shadow that began two years ago. The movement components have a silver tone, giving the new Kodo a subtle but bright appearance that accentuates the intricately constructed and layered parts. The beauty of the painstakingly hand-polished components is even more pronounced in the new timepiece. For the first time in a Grand Seiko watch, blue sapphires take the place of some of the rubies, adding an unexpected detail that is in perfect harmony with the design. Carefully examined and selected, the pale blue sapphires recall a beautiful dawn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA subtle gradation of light is expressed through the use of different materials and various types of finishing. Platinum 950 forms the watch’s inner case, while Brilliant Hard Titanium, an alloy twice as hard as stainless steel, forms the outer case, making the exterior highly resistant to scratches. The combination of the two materials creates a natural gradation and a long-lasting beauty. Some of the case parts in both metals are Zaratsu polished to a distortion-free mirror finish, while others have a hairline finish. Each process is completed by hand by highly skilled craftsmen and women to ensure that an elegant visual harmony is revealed from every angle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe watch is offered with a leather strap created from a highly durable material that is specially treated in the same traditional way once used in samurai armor. But this time, a new white color was developed specifically for the new Kodo. The white strap is made through tanning with natural materials and then carefully hand-coated with layers of white urushi lacquer to create a deep sheen and a unique texture. A crocodile strap in charcoal grey also comes with the watch.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-02-12T10:23:11-05:00","created_at":"2025-02-11T16:46:28-05:00","vendor":"Grand Seiko","type":"Watches","tags":["44mm","All Watches","Grand Seiko","Leather","Leather Strap","Manufacturer Grand Seiko","Masterpiece Collection","Men","Men's Watches","Metal Color White","Metal Type Platinum","Metal Type Titanium","Quote","Titanium","Tourbillon","Watches"],"price":36500000,"price_min":36500000,"price_max":36500000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47121995202810,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"SLGT005","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Grand Seiko Kodo Constant Force Tourbillon Limited Edition - SLGT005","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":36500000,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.moyerfinejewelers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/155_e86d4325-6ab1-4f72-af62-e73836e09198.jpg?v=1739373634","\/\/www.moyerfinejewelers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/154.jpg?v=1739373634"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.moyerfinejewelers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/155_e86d4325-6ab1-4f72-af62-e73836e09198.jpg?v=1739373634","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35560768733434,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"width":800,"src":"\/\/www.moyerfinejewelers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/155_e86d4325-6ab1-4f72-af62-e73836e09198.jpg?v=1739373634"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.moyerfinejewelers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/155_e86d4325-6ab1-4f72-af62-e73836e09198.jpg?v=1739373634","width":800},{"alt":null,"id":35560768700666,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"width":800,"src":"\/\/www.moyerfinejewelers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/154.jpg?v=1739373634"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":800,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.moyerfinejewelers.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/154.jpg?v=1739373634","width":800}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2022, Grand Seiko presented its first mechanical complication, the Kodo Constant-force Tourbillon, a revolutionary watch that combined a tourbillon and a constant-force mechanism as one unit on a single axis for the first time in horological history.
